@maegul @emmah @thomasfuchs To be clear, it’s anecdotal based on my personal experience, so I’m not claiming to have hard statistical data here!
I don’t think it’s not seeing the point as maybe not understand the basic concept. I think us techies sometimes underestimate how much less understanding of technical issues non-techies often have (for a variety of reasons). For example, to a lot of them Facebook Messenger is like email, but like, much easier to use, and that’s the extent of what they think of it. Federation is a fairly complex thing after all.
My hope is that a lot more of them is starting to care now, enough to put in the effort to get what federation is!
